08:05 AM ET 02.25 | Fortunately, for Tim Tebow and his fans, the season does not start this weekend, as John Fox said Kyle Orton would be his No. 1 quarterback. "I don't think we'll really figure it out until we start competing," Fox said in the Lucas Oil Stadium media center at the NFL scouting combine. "Right now, Kyle Orton's our starter. We've got a very young guy, a high draft pick in Tim Tebow, who got his feet wet last year toward the end of the season." ... Fox was asked if he had fully grasped the phenomenon that is Tim Tebow's fan base. The former Heisman Trophy winner from the University of Florida had his name and No. 15 attached to the highest-selling NFL jersey last season. He was No. 1 in sales before taking the first snap in his rookie season. But No. 8, Orton, is the starter? "Well, again, that's today," Fox said.

He can't be any worse than the QB during Fox's last two season in Carolina.

Somehow, I have a feeling that Fox could care less about Tebow's "fan base".

Camp has not started and if the season and preseason are shortened then it makes sense Orton is the starter. He knows the NFL. Tebow next year.

At least he knows where he stands. Nothing like going into the season not knowing your place.And his (for now) is the designated clipboard carrier.
